Do not stay at the Strawberry Hotel. This was a truly awful and misleading experience. The booking process was dishonest, as I was only told about the shared bathroom after my payment of £110 was non-refundable. The hotel itself is in terrible condition; the floors are so uneven that my bed felt like it was breaking, and a large gap under the door meant I had zero privacy. The shared bathroom was also unsanitary and smelly.
Worst of all were the serious security issues. The reception staff were unprofessional and asked for my credit card, then wrote the details down out of my sight. On top of that, staff entered my room without knocking and even entered while I was away, which was a huge breach of privacy given I had expensive belongings with me.
The only positive is the location, just a minute from the beach and a 20-minute walk to the train station. However, this does not make up for the terrible condition, unprofessional staff, and lack of security. This hotel is not worth the money or the risk.
